Review of A Dream For Peace
[Following is a volunteer review of "A Dream For Peace" by Dr. Ghoulem Berrah.]
Ghoulem Berrah's insightful piece A Dream for Peace: An Ambassador's Memoir describes in great detail how numerous experiences from childhood through adulthood and into his older years have shaped him into the person he is now. He was born in a little Algerian village called Aïn Beïda during the period of France's annexation of the country. He was angry that his lecturers taught French history but nothing about Algerian history because he was well aware of the inferior status accorded to native Algerians. He actively worked towards promoting complete freedom in Africa, notably in his native Algerian, and lends his voice unreservedly to the masses, taking a stand against colonization and bigotry. As a result of the injustices done to Algeria, the author was motivated to take action. He accepted a Ministry of Health assignment in the war-torn Moroccan town of Missour, which earned him honors from peers. Later, he made a significant contribution by being the first scientist to propose a theory regarding the "Reverse Transcript Enzyme."
There are a number of obvious advantages to this book. The book's pages are full of numerous life lessons that can be learned by looking at things from the author's perspective. I am confident that he accomplished what he claimed to have done in the book since many of the things he wrote about were historically accurate. He retained his humility and modesty despite his well-regarded position in President Felix Houphouet's administration and his amazing accomplishments. He persisted despite being imprisoned in Spain and facing hostility from his community while working for Cote d'Ivoire. He never wavered in his commitment to peace and freedom. He explains how colonists treated his people unfairly and how those painful experiences forced him and countless others to stand up and fight for their rights.
The author's diplomatic activities were extensively detailed and emphasized in the book. The author's illustrations and footnotes were a huge help in better understanding and following along with his story. The memoir is a motivating read that demonstrates the enormous impact one person can have in the struggle for liberty, peace, and advancement. Additionally, it offers a window into developing African countries. A distinctive view of Algerian-African culture and its enduring traditions is provided through the author's story. The author's charisma left me speechless; his enormous dignity and credibility are noteworthy. He strived for peace in the world, but he also experienced very real struggles for peace in his home. The author's life narrative is motivating, despite the book's length. It is a skillfully written account of his life. I recommend this book to everyone who appreciates history, memoirs, and autobiographies.
Anyone with a dream should read this book. It teaches us to persevere in pursuing our dreams in the face of opposition. The author's incredible determination motivates me, and I believe that it will motivate every reader as well. There is nothing to cause me to take away a star from this book. The author carefully crafted how he presented his story. His meticulousness about Dr. Ghoulem Berrah's life made the book so engrossing. He made sure to arrange his biography chronologically. All of these add to making the book interesting.
I have no complaints regarding the book. I would have said something about the length of the book, but the very length of the book lends credibility to the majority of the situations mentioned in the book. I can't really say whether this memoir is lengthy or not because I've read larger autobiographies, but I am impressed with the author's value and personality. It's also important to note that the editing of the book impressed me, as there were no mistakes. It was excellently edited. Despite the fact that it is an autobiography, I found the author's story to be entertaining. I am giving this book a rating of 5 out of 5 stars due to the aforementioned qualities.
